What the course covers

This GCSE program is an intensive one-year course for adult learners aged 19 and over on the first day of the programme. It is designed for those who need a Level 2 science qualification for career progression or wish to pursue further education courses and apprenticeship routes in the sciences. Additionally, it offers a part-time option for adults who want to retake Biology to access Teacher Training, Nursing, or Midwifery programmes, or to progress onto higher-level science courses.

Students will sit two examinations in the Summer at the end of the course and take part in multiple practical experiments throughout the course in our modern, fully equipped, high quality labs.

This is a very intensive course, and students must be willing to spend additional time outside of the classroom completing revision and homework tasks. Full attendance is also extremely important due to the significant course content required to be delivered.

Although Nescot has an extensive learning resource centre through which to support learning, students will still need stationary, a calculator, AQA GCSE Biology textbook and a lab coat.
